4. The J.B.'s "The Grunt" (1970)

Producer: James BrownAlbum: Food For ThoughtLabel: King, People

Kon: "There has always been a debate on who came first with that record, The Isley Brothers or The J.B.'s. Obviously, it's Public Enemy's sample. They flipped it and put it backwards, also Ultramagnetic used it and Show and A.G. used it. Great record."
